Re: simply ford 2016
Hi nick, I did get some attention, mainly from cyclists unfortunately. Glad to hear you got your bonnet issue sorted. Nipper loved it, he's now decided he wants my capri as his first car. Though he said yours was much shinier.

Re: simply ford 2016
Yeah sorry bout that nick but nipper had had enough. I will put some pics up as I go. I'll take one of the capri gear knob when I cast it. It was great to see your capri, as well as neils and John's, it gives me something to aim for. Good to meet you too Andrew, shame it was just as I was going. Loo...

Re: Simply Ford Final Details
Hi, I thought my capri would be all sprayed ready for Beaulieu but sadly not. I'd still like to bring it but it looks a bit rough, very much a work in progress. It's been described as a Sally gunnell (not much to look at but a fucking good runner). Is it a problem if I still rock up in it? Cheers, b...

Jamie Oliver has a 2.8 I think, he used it on Jamie and Jimmy's Friday night feast or whatever it was called.

Re: Wasted a day of my life today
Why they thought all that plastic was a good idea is beyond me. With my capri i can get hands,arms and probably even sit in there with the engine, can't get a spanner in my passat engine bay.

Re: Wasted a day of my life today
Hi neil,
That's why i don't work on my passat, can't see the engine for stupid bits of plastic. All too complicated for me and far too much of a pain in the ass.

Re: Queen Square Bristol 20th September
Looks like a brilliant meet, you can count me in for next year as my ghia should be half way presentable by then. Hopefully I could travel up with Neil as he's only down the road from me. A good incentive to get my arse in gear.
